BATHlNG-CABINET.

SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 307,255, dated October 28, 1884.

Application filed August 3, ISSB.

.T0 a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Beit known that I, QUIMBY S. laekos, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tinchendon, in the county of Vorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bathing-Cabinets; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this speeiiication.

This `invention relates to a toiletcabinet, with bath-tub and sliding wash-stand; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the annexed drawings, illustrating` the invention, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved toiletcabinet. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of the lower part ot' the cabinet.

Like letters of reference designate like parts v in the several views.

The base of the cabinet A consists ol" or contains a bath-tub, B, which supports asliding wash-stand, C. This wash-stand is provided with rollers a a, Fig. 3, by which it may be moved along tracks or ways b b, Fig. 2, that are i'ormed on or attached to the top of the bath-tub. A wash-bowl, D, is sup ported in the wash-stand C, and is provided `with a flexible waste-tube, E, that connects the opening inthe bottom of the'bowl to the discharge-opening in the bottom of the bathtub. The wash-bowl may thus be made to slide along the top of the bath-tub without disturbing its connection with the outlet of the tub. The upper part of the cabinet may be finished as a bureau, wardrobe, or similar article of furniture, and is providedwith hinged ends F F, forming a compartment at each end of the tub, to which the sliding wash-stand may be rolled when not in use. These hinged ends give a finish to t-he cabinet and conceal the bath-tub when the parts are arranged as shown in Fig. l. At the saine time they are capable of being turned aside when itlr is desired to use the bath-tub, the wash-stand being then pushed to one end ot' the tub, as shown in Fig. 2. In the back of the cabinet, above the central part of the bathtub, are arranged the hot and cold water pipes, in the ordinary manner.

lThe wash-bowl may be filled by moving it beneath the faucets, or by moving the washstand to the end of the cabinet water may be drawn directly into the tub.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with a bath-tub, of a sliding washstand supported thereon in suitable guideways, and adapted` to be moved to either end of the tub, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with a bath-tub having tracks b b, of a sliding wash-stand, C, provided with rollers c a, fitting on said tracks,

and a bowl, D, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

QUIMBY S. BACKUS.
